Welcoming Shabbat with Lecha Dodi by Julia and Amalia, a New Singing Duo

Julia Sabra and Amalia Kelter Zeitlin are two musicians deeply committed to building and inspiring Jewish community through song. They met briefly in December of 2023, but did not become friends until September of 2024, when they were both living in Jerusalem.

 

One day, a mutual friend told them that they really needed to make music together. They took her advice, and started compiling songs for an album of Jewish music. Some written by Amalia, some by Julia, and some an organic collaboration of their musical minds. 

 

The album is in development, and the duo is looking for sources of funding. In the meantime they are performing in various locations, including this session in a private home in Baka, Jerusalem, where they sing Lecha Dodi for a group of friends.

 

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
